I use VL-2s in my 10x12 office, in the near field, about 5 feet away.
In that room setting the sound is heavenly. Detail, soundstage, transparency and musical rightness is astonishing.
They are never harsh or unnatural. I have stuffed the ports with foam to reduce the bass, which is too powerful otherwise.
I'm using them in my bigger room now, waiting for my new lkarger speakers to arrive, and they are wonderful there, but the image size is much smaller than in the nearfield.
